Lawrence Rothman a.k.a. Kevin Ginger<\/p><\/div>\n

I got an awful lot more than I bargained for when I dipped my toes into the strange waters of Los Angeles conceptual\/performance artist and musician Lawrence Rothman<\/a><\/strong>. I was sent his stunning and disturbing video for “California Paranoia,” a song from his forthcoming debut album. The song is a breathtaking Gothic chamber music composition, and along with the melancholy piano, strings and Rothman’s somber singing, it Angel Olsen<\/a><\/strong> contributes eerily beautiful backing vocals. The video, a gorgeously filmed has something possibly to do with the dark subconscious, fatalism, artifice and illusion, love, madness, the Los Angeles underbelly, copious amounts of medication, dancing girls, mental illness, the search for salvation, a mad psychiatrist, a satanic ritual, and I won’t tell you how it ends but let’s just say it turns the sacrificial lamb metaphor on its head.<\/p>\n
